Summer is here — has been here for a little while in Texas actually ;) — and I’m back on my blog. Traffic in Austin is getting a little bit lighter and it’s time for outside concerts and drinks.

I thought I would resume blogging with a new kind of post. Since my job and my interests result in tons of reading, and I really like these posts on other blogs that share their favorite links, I’d like to try sharing my own favorite links. Links may differ from time to time between the English and the French versions of this blog, depending on interests and language, but you know that if you can read the other language, you can always go check the other list (Reminder: go here for the French version of the blog).

Let’s start with 5 links to articles, one to a video, and one to a website… because that’s what I have this week. This week, the list is the same on both versions of the blog, but I’ll try to add some links in French next week. Please let me know what you think in the comments and if you enjoyed the links!

Remember my little gourds that decorated my deck, that I posted about here?

Do you see the little round one almost in the middle, with yellow and orange stripes? On the morning of Thanksgiving, I discovered it had disappeared!

Well, there were some pieces left by the hungry, we can only assume, squirrel who took the little gourd…

Of course, this made us more laugh than anything else! I did leave the other gourds though, thinking they had a good lunch already and since we were home they would not dare try to steal another one.

But then we left to visit a park in the afternoon, and came back just before sunset… only to find out that another gourd had disappeared. The little critter must have been either full or in a rush, because we found what was left of the gourd near a tree, close to the deck.

Now you may wonder why we think it was squirrels and not another animal. Well, because it is not their first mischief on our deck!
